Can You Make $100K as a Vet Tech?!

In this video I discuss the important topic of veterinary technician wages. I disclose my starting wage, how I got raises, talk about earning potential, and review average (and above average) veterinary technician wages. (Hint, some techs make more than $100K a year!)

I loved this video! i’m a tech student and people don’t talk about how to expand and move up the scale as a tech enough. it’s always encouraging seeing techs expanding and being appreciated! :)

Thank you, and I agree! I recently read somewhere that people that stay with the same job for a long time are more likely to make less money than people who take new opportunities as they come up. Employers are more likely to offer pay increase to new employees than to existing ones. So keep that in mind!

I’m a semester one student with Penn Foster for Vet Tech. I wanna do VTS someday. Thank you for this video.

[@jenniferlyonsvts]

Thank you for watching, and good luck with your studying! Let me know if you ever have any questions!

This is something I wish more people talked about. I’ve been very hesitant to go into vet med because of the salary… but it’s always been in the back of mind that I have seen people do well in this career and that the salaries are definitely increasing, are are expected to excel in the upcoming years!

It sucks that people are dissuaded from doing something they are interested in due to poor pay because the field needs people so badly. Hopefully we can get the field to the point where this is not the case anymore!

omg Polly jumping on the table @6:20 made me cry so hard. your videos are magnificent.

[@jenniferlyonsvts]

Haha thank you! She is the biggest trouble maker, and she always loves when I have the camera out 😂

Your videos really help me too with school, I’m working on starting my hours I need and the application for vet tech school too, and you’re really helpful, thank you

[@jenniferlyonsvts]

I’m so glad they’re helpful! Good luck with your application!

[@itsshini1123]

welcome back! your vids always are helpful and we use them all the time in class!

[@jenniferlyonsvts]

Thank you so much that's so exciting to hear! I am planning more in the coming weeks so if you have any requests I am all ears! (next video planned is likely ECG interpretation)

[@hayleymalesa79]

Very informative video, thank you for the info! Love your videos, very inspiring!

[@jenniferlyonsvts]

Thank you so much!

[@JesusDiaz-kp1si]

Being new to the Emergency your videos helped me so much and made me want to pursue a VTS! Happy to have you back and thank you!

[@jenniferlyonsvts]

That’s awesome, good luck! Let me know if there are any topics you’re super interested in!

[@RichardRunnar]

You’re proof that hard work pays off. My local VCA offered me $20 as unlicensed and would give me $25 as a new grad (when I complete it). I guess wages have went up since you started.

[@jenniferlyonsvts]

I’m glad to hear they are offering you a decent starting wage! It only goes up from there!
